Weird mathematical anomaly that I just wanted to write down, before the next game in a couple of hours from now

yes, technically the yankees are in 1st place even though they are a game behind. it's that all important loss column thing. both teams win pct. are higher than the 4-2 record boston has compiled in the 6 more games they have played.
